Since my last post! It's amazing how fast time flies.
I won't bore you with in-depth stories about my computer's demon possession, the insanity that was playing in the pit for the high school's musical, or the pile of grading that I am still trying to claw my way out of. Needless to say, I am still trying to figure out how best to do things, and I am (surprisingly!) still feeling the effects of being hired so close to the beginning of the school year.
Now, you would think that after a six week absence (!!!) I would write a profoundly deep post about all the wonderful things I read while I was MIA from the blogosphere. I am, however, saving that post for tomorrow because I am planning on staying inside all day and doing my best to NOT become a human popsicle during the day with a -6 degree high (doesn't it seem counterintuitive for high and negative to be in the same sentence regarding temperature?). Blogging seems like a perfect inside activity!
I will say that I am having much more success with the audio version of Bleak House than I did in trying to read the print version. I never did get around to reading North and South again for the readalong, but I very well might pop it in tomorrow when I'm under a blanket on the couch!
All in all, I'm glad to be back, and I hope (barring any other computer exorcisms) to avoid more unplanned absences!

Welcome back! So glad the audio version of Bleak House is working out better for you.. it sure helped me get through it! Gaskell is on my list of authors to try next year.
Thanks, JoAnn. I definitely recommend North and South...it is just DELICIOUS. And it has a really good BBC adaptation :). Let me know what you think!
